Civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines after military engineering. Civil engineering is a wide ranging profession, including several separate specialized sub-disciplines and its history is linked to knowledge of structures, materials science, geography, geology, soils, hydrology, environment, mechanics and other fields. It has been an aspect of life since the beginning of human existence. Until modern times there was no clear distinction between civil engineering and architecture.
Implementation of CAD Design and Drafting Techniques in Civil Engineering
As we know civil engineering is the most functional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. The civil engineers design buildings models, sketches or drawings on a tracing paper according to the requirements. Later on those models or sketches are followed for constructing real structures of buildings. It is a time consuming process. It is also very difficult to edit the drawings, usually a new drawing have to be created in case of any changes required.
CAD Software - The Benefits It Brings To Engineers and Architects Alike
Advancement of technology has made many dependent on machines like computers for instance. Using computers and software, for example, is a very common illustration of this. To make their jobs less complicated, many computer experts are developing different kinds of programs.
Manufacturers! Do You Understand The Dangers Of CAD Software?
A lot?s been written in the press in 2010 about Toyota?s recent woes, and some blame has been incorrectly attributed to CAD (computer aided design) and PLM (product lifecycle management) software. Clearly the issue is in the fundamental understanding of the function and operating environments, as well as the testing involved, not the actual use of CAD.
